Derivatives of Trigonometric Functions
www.ocf.berkeley.edu › ~reinholz › edKnowledge of the derivatives of sine and cosine allows us to find the derivatives of all other trigono-metric functions using the quotient rule. Recall the following identities: tan(x) = sin(x) cos(x) cot(x) = cos(x) sin(x) sec(x) = 1 cos(x) csc(x) = 1 sin(x) Example 2 Find the derivatives of tan(x), cot(x), csc(x), and sec(x).
